This is just the shortlist not the actual nominations. Only 5 of those 10 movies will indeed be nominated. Personally i have little clue of who deserves to be on that list. The ones i saw, i think IW is easily one of those that will end up with a nomination. From what i've heard First Man will also take a spot...
Well in that case, I’m completely wrong.

How late can films usually get away with releasing if they want the best chance to win?
Thanks. They must have fell asleep during the BP vs Killmonger railtrack scene.
I would have liked it to finish on at least 70%.

Well this isn’t getting panned. It’s just normalising to a lower level of good. And with critics there is material there for them to pick at (that most who’ve seen it have acknowledged) if they want to prioritise those things over the epic adventure unfolding before them. We are still in a position where a big majority of critics (69% to 31%) are recommending people see the movie regardless of whatever issues they might bring up.
Critics cannot influence if a person likes something only if a person goes to see it. And once they went and saw it, it's their opinion. And neither snubs nor reviews seem to be stopping anyone here
I wouldn't consider a DCeU film with 69% RT score bad when the average DCeU RT score is 49%. This is still a win for the DCeU, especially with the box office numbers looking good.
IMHO it’s simply that Aquaman has been a pop culture punchline for so long that the film has a huge uphill climb just to get many critics not to dismiss it out of hand. I mean, look at the AZcentral.com review (I won’t dignify it with a link) whose first freaking line is “There’s no way an Aquaman movie could have been good good, but it could have been fun.” Alas, the critic did not find it fun, but look at the attitude going in: no chance it could be good to begin with!
